<p><strong>ABOUT TEEN CHALLENGE OF ARIZONA — HOME OF HOPE</strong></p> <p>Founded in 1965, Teen Challenge is a national, <strong>faith-based nonprofit organization</strong> that operates a network of treatment facilities for adults, youth, and families struggling with substance abuse. Home of Hope, one of Teen Challenge of <a href="https://www.rehabs.com/listings/greater-phoenix-teen-challenge-3214765368/" target="_blank">Arizona’s five locations</a>, offers <strong>residential care for adult women and mothers</strong> of young children (ages six and younger). </p> <p>The Casa Grande-based facility <strong>does not provide medically-managed detox services</strong>. According to the center’s student handbook, applicants must agree to its “cold turkey” policy. The facility’s application also claims that “homosexual behavior” is a “sin against god,” so <strong>clients who identify as LGBTQ may want to avoid this facility</strong>. </p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Most clients remain in treatment for <strong>12 to 15 months</strong>. During this time, Home of Hope aims to treat each client holistically by addressing their spiritual, physical, educational, social, and <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/mindfulness-a-valuable-tool-for-your-recovery-toolbox/" target="_blank">mental needs</a>. The center’s programming, which is heavily <strong>influenced by Christian teachings</strong>, is divided into five phases. </p> <p>Phase one is the “evangelism” phase; clients are recruited by the organization through outreach services, prisons, counseling centers, and literature distribution. The official treatment program begins in phases two and three, which are dedicated to “preparation and induction”. In these phases, clients live together and <strong>share work assignments</strong>. They also participate in <strong>Bible study</strong> and receive one-on-one <strong>life coaching</strong>. </p> <p>In phase four, which is titled “Christian Growth,” clients continue to engage in Bible study and coaching while participating in activities related to <strong>academics, vocational training,</strong> and <strong>life-skills development.</strong> In the final “re-entry” phase, clients receive assistance with <strong>job placement</strong>, budgeting, <strong>goal creation</strong>, paying for room and board, and developing a social and religious network.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided by the facility regarding its treatment staff. However, the facility’s handbook states that the center does not employ any medical personnel. Many employees of the Teen Challenge organization are <strong>alumni of the program</strong>.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>According to the center’s handbook, <strong>living and storage space is limited</strong>, so clients should bring only one week’s worth of clothes with them. Children six years old and younger may attend treatment with their mothers. After the initial 30-day period, <strong>clients are permitted to see visitors during Sunday visiting hours</strong>. Smoking is strictly prohibited, and clients are not allowed to have cell phones or laptops during treatment.

She gave the facility an overall rating of five out of five stars and indicated that she would recommend Home of Hope to others. However, she submitted one- and two-star reviews in a number of evaluated categories, including the center’s holistic offerings, its leisure activities, its exercise options, its connectivity, its individual counseling, and its visitor policies. “It seemed all encompassing but was very religious," A.A. wrote, but added: "I needed the spiritual component to add to my recovery process.”</p> <p>On the center’s Facebook page, which the facility has the option to edit, Home of Hope received an average rating of <strong>4.9 out of five stars</strong>, based on reviews from 32 individuals.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> While most commentary was submitted by loved ones and members of the community, Emily identified herself as an alum in her two-star review. She credited her success to the support of her fellow participants, but was critical of the facility and its staff. “They act like they care but in reality you're just another girl going through their program so they can make money off of your story," Emily wrote. She also reported no aftercare. </p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>Rehabs.com has not yet received any reviews from this facility’s affiliated friends or family members; however, reviews submitted to third-party sites were <strong>generally positive</strong>.
